My husband filled in a wide doorway with sheetrock. He then threw some spackling over it for some texture, not quite covering it. I am now in the process of painting it for the second time (different colors of purple block shapes) because it keeps peeling off. The first time I did not use a primer. The second time I did and it is still peeling off, especially where there is no spackling. What's the problem here? Thanks :wall:

Hello painters. We have decided to paint a condo yellow. A problem is there are a multitude of dark colors that were hidden under wall paper we removed plus there is a very dark blue going halfway up the wall in the kitchen. I've used yellow before and it is very hard to get coverage over dark but I'm determined to use it here. I have kilz left from other jobs but I'd like to get away with just tinting a latex primer/blocker yellow and seeing if I might succeed with a primer and a top coat. Kilz and Oil put me on another planet. Its still 20 below up here but I can leave the windows open a bit. PS: we are painting the trim white. My wife used some Zinzer 1-2-3 latex on a window to test it and we had severe bleed through. Is there any latex blocker for wood. I wonde if we can use the same stuff for windows and walls? Paint stores seem to tell me this or that will work but I just don't have time to keep trying. Any thoughts?
